Welcome to the Letterman KZbin Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

That my mother, Doreen Klein asking "how about a wedding cake?". I was not sure for a moment, and I called her to ask if it was her, and asked her if she remembered what she said. She repeated "how about a wedding cake" in a flash! Love the channel, and got the pleasure of telling my buddy, your old staff writer Chris Galetta about it! Bring him on for some memories!

[@na9159]

Who is the guy with her?

[@ronehill]

@@na9159 her ex boy friend Steve

[@AuditAmplifier]

Awesome 👍

[@FlBirdLover]

I forgot how much I loved watching Dave throw stuff off buildings. Thanks, Dave!

[@DrVVVinK]

It got better once he went to CBS and had people outside.

[@the_wiki9408]

He was doing KZbin style stuff before the internet existed.

[@crusaderinacrewnecksweater]

The way that guy said "Some balloons filled with guacamole 😏" just killed me

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

He is one hip cat!

[@dougfromsoanierana]

This is the best Letterman - the old school NBC days, starting at 12:30am and doing weird, fun, original stuff. I took a lot of after school naps to make up for the sleep I gave up to watch these shows.

[@seththomas9105]

Kept a lot of us up on weeknights in high school back in the 80's.

[@danimart3374]

Letterman is the KING, practically INVENTED "social media" right here. This channel is gold.

[@QuantumBraced]

I'm glad they fixed the deinterlacing and upscaling, this video looks great.

[@QuantumBraced]

I'm a simple man, I see things explode, I click like.

[@TheWhollymoly]

"It's a good kind of tired." I used that line for years!

[@EricGarringer]

It’s glorious seeing all of these classic David Letterman stunts and interviews appear as new in my feed. Going all the way back to Late Night, David Letterman has always been my favorite late night king.

[@elizabethlarson9655]

Watching the Wile E. Coyote plummet to the earth in multiple angles was hilarious.

[@LeenaBored]

Immmmm going to start eating chia seeds everyday and stop brushing my teeth...just to see what happens.

[@FrankBenlin]

He got my attention with the steamroller running over stuff. He made me a fan for life throwing stuff off a tall building.

[@rickpaul2531]

You know it's gonna be fun!

[@ianstewart8301]

Love rewatching these! Thanks so much

[@DavidSmith-xs3or]

I remember when Dave did this at the Ed Sullivan theater, with the assistance of Pat and Kenny. I miss those days. And they would show the stuff hitting the ground in slow motion, and repeat it coming back from commercial break.

[@bryanj9295]

Thanks for this! And the air date; I saw this live while studying in college.

[@ml9867]

Dave, please go back on the Howard Stern Show to promote this channel.

[@ninestories2]

Thank you for captioning this! 🖤

[@cactus-wren]

On the Wile E. Coyote, they should have added the falling cartoon sound! Anyway, it was funny this whole segment!

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Those 80s chicks were cute!

Oh, those tight jeans Dave! 🥰

[@warped2875]

Welcome to another episode of "You catch it, you keep it.", that nobody showed up for.

[@johndavis3921]

Thursday, April 5, 1984. Another OUTSTANDING Event was MISSED because I HAD to COMPLETE My Senior Year of High School.

[@MultiPetercool]

The Mythbusters had nothing on David Letterman! 😂

[@SheilaD111]

Good memories. Thanks Dave!

[@tristramcoffin926]

Most epic mic drop in history

[@unknownuser0006]

That's how you do a mic drop :D

[@ruthecker399]

love dave miss him

[@sthorp]

Love that you’ve created this channel. Would it be possible to put the original air date on the clips?

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Uhh all you have to do is click on the description shows the original Air date

[@sthorp]

@@KOSMICKEN09 That's great! That info wasn't there last week when I posted this.

[@markbleichwehl]

The good old days

[@massapower]

THX D A V E 😁👍🏻

[@RIXRADvidz]

I remember, barely, watching the Steamroller, missed the Overinflation, and do remember the 5 Story Tower, I think they did the 5ST more than once. .. pmw

[@Mark-wd5zb]

He posted the Steamroller video last week -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYCaf2aJpZ6jlck

[@EightPieceBox]

They did the tower and steam roller multiple times.

[@ClockwiseCat]

When Dave was Dada.

[@austinexplorer512]

Clips for days

[@brazenbunnies]

Sounded like the mic made it

[@chiefscheider]

0:48 wonder what she's up to these days

[@xTheOxx]

I believe that's a young Pat Farmer pushing the clock off the tower. I always liked that guy.

[@dongiller]

Not Pat. He wasn’t working on Late Night at NBC. Only on Late Show at CBS.

[@xTheOxx]

@@dongiller I know your account and I'll take your word for it because you definitely know better than me!

[@dongiller]

@Barbara Guest Anyone with a decoder?

[@johnnyc2639]

A classic bit

[@timbescorn8372]

I lived in an 8 story dorm in South Dakota at the time. We'd drop stuff down the fire escape stairwell to see what it would do. Best one was a Banana flip pastry that perfectly opened on impact. College days....

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Is that young Bernie Sanders or Vince Schiavelli at 1:38?

[@meropealcyone]

The Wile E Coyote segment was clearly fake. I mean...he didn't take any steps in mid air, before looking down and realizing he'd run off a cliff. Only then would he fall!

[@CaliphAmin]

comedy doesn't need to be complicated to be funny.

[@paticusmaximus12]

Meme before the internet

[@briscomadani5018]

why did dave go ? he could come back today, and we'd watch!

[@peoplevsradio317]

Dave was making viral videos before videos could go viral... this seems like a Tik Tok theme.

[@mhmrules]

I almost wanna bet that microphone survived.

[@todd-makes-videos]

The original How Ridiculous. and drop the mike.

[@talicoate]

Is this the original mic drop?

[@massapower]

Before Jack ASS and all these ridiculous UTUBER'S, there was da Best.. LETTERMAN BaBy!😁👍🏻

[@Abubobbledo]

Someone should start a channel.

[@TimothyATaylor]

A watermelon, please

[@CCpolitico]

Eat your heart out @HowRidiculous

[@jimmy8669]

When America was Great.

[@gregkunkel8704]

Yes I remember the us, it was a great country. So sad what happened, think they call it prug-rezz

[@Walkman0007]

are those the twin towers in the back ground?

[@paulsommerhalder9049]

I found the people on the streets more interesting than the tower. Seeing the weird sense of style they all had back then. Very manicured....
